The anthropogenic global warming guys have been whacked again and again and, now, again. But these scientific fraudsters (in it to keep their research funding and salaries healthy) keep rolling on. Barry may be sliding on Cap & Trade, but the EPA still is penalizing emitters of carbon dioxide and trying to put the coal industry out of business. So even if Copenhagen now deserves to be stopped in its tracks, the "climate-change" circus likely will keep traveling on for a while longer.

I hadn’t thought of Copenhagen in relation to this deal.
Okay, that’s funny.
How do they demand billions of dollars from us as we’re digesting what so far appears to be evidence of a conspiracy to defraud the world of billions of dollars?

Minitru is going to try to frame the story as being about the hacking, ignore it as much as possible and bury it as soon as possible.

That’s a nice defense of the poor scientists who are under fire from the skeptics.
The Daily News had a great line in their cover-up article
stoking debate over whether some scientists have overstated the case for man-made climate change.
No, it stoked the debate over whether and how much global warmmongers lie and even added in possible proof of a conspiracy.
I never really thought they talked about what to lie about, I hadn’t ever really thought about it.
This will be funny if Foxnews gets in on it, the Examiner in DC, a fairly conservative paper, is on the job, all the other news outlets not blogs are cover-ups/white-washes/attacks on the evil hackers.
Search for “east anglia’s climatic research unit emails” and you’ll get see the fun.
I figure Glenn Beck will be all over it. He lives for this stuff.
He’ll be funny about it too.
I really love this summary in the London Times, via Instapundit:
“Astonishingly, what appears, at least at first blush, to have emerged is that (a) the scientists have been manipulating the raw temperature figures to show a relentlessly rising global warming trend; (b) they have consistently refused outsiders access to the raw data; (c) the scientists have been trying to avoid freedom of information requests; and (d) they have been discussing ways to prevent papers by dissenting scientists being published in learned journals.”
Indeed, I expect this story will be good for a few more news cycles yet.
Yup, I have to admit the Wash Post didn’t do too bad a job and that London Times story is pretty good.
The NY Times, of course, won’t be covering it.

The documents appear to have been acquired illegally and contain all manner of private information and statements that were never intended for the public eye, so they won’t be posted here.
Strange. They had no such compunction, as I recall, with the Pentagon Papers. But they weren’t invested in the Vietnam War, as they are in AGW.
Even the dimmest scientists, it appears, have a well-developed sense of smell – where public money for grants is considered. No wonder.
Yep. That’s not a variable. It’s a constant.
